Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This organelle stores water, and is very big in plant cells
A
nuclolus
B
ribosomes
C
golgi bodies
D
vacuoles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles. First, plant cells have a large central vacuole that holds a mixture of water, nutrients, and wastes. A plant cell’s vacuole can make up 90% of the cell’s volume. The large central vacuole essentially stores water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vacuole is the cell organelle that stores excess water and gives support and rigidity to a plant cell. It occupies about 80% of the plant cell volume.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell’s volume. The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Among its roles in plant cell function, the central vacuole stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, pigments, helps in plant growth, and plays an important structural role for the plant.
